The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources soon will launch a survey of secondary wood manufacturers.

By Wisconsin DNR

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry and University of Wisconsin-Madison Wood Products Extension will conduct a survey involving Wisconsin’s secondary wood products manufacturers. This survey will be used to update the Wisconsin Wood Users Industry Directory.  The directory, last updated in 2018, is currently available, and we plan to have the updated version online as part of the forestry products section of the DNR website.

The goals of this survey are to determine the impact of the secondary wood industry on Wisconsin’s economy, update the Wisconsin Wood Using Industry Directory, determine residue availability and develop an understanding of educational and training needs for the success of your business.

If you are a secondary wood manufacturer, please be on the lookout for a survey to arrive in the mail over the next few weeks. If you do not receive a survey and would like to be part of the directory, please contact Elle Soderberg at Elle.Soderberg@wisconsin.gov or 920-883-9980.
